Going forward with simpletrace v2 variable size trace records, we cannot
have a generic function to print trace event info and therefore this
interface becomes invalid.
As per Stefan Hajnoczi:
"This command is only available from the human monitor. It's not very
useful because it historically hasn't been able to pretty-print events
or show them in the right order (we use a ringbuffer but it prints
them out from index 0).
Therefore, I don't think we're under any obligation to keep this
command around. No one has complained about it's limitations - I
think this is a sign that no one has used it. I'd be okay with a
patch that removes it."

Generalize the 'st_print_trace_events' and 'st_change_trace_event_state' into
backend-specific 'trace_print_events' and 'trace_event_set_state' (respectively)
in the "trace/control.h" file.

A default implementation for backend-specific routines is provided in
"trace/default.c", which backends can override by setting "trace_default=no" in
"configure".
